We want to put up a security camera where it is far enough away, and
with terrain & tree issues overlooking the entrance to our property. It
will be about 50-60 feet above the driveway. There are no lights down
there, and the spot where I want to put it is difficult enough to reach
that I don't want to mess with batteries or WiFi. So it will be a
wired/POE camera.
The camera that (so far) seems to meet my needs is the Unifi UVC-G5-PRO,
mainly because it has an ~~80 foot range in IR mode, and the image
quality is noticeably better than the G4 and below models. It also has
enough smarts to act as a "doorbell" of sorts should anyone come driving up.
One downside is that it's WHITE, so I will need to camo it somewhat. I
don't know if the IR is low or no glow, but that would be a major plus
if it had it because I don't want it drawing attention.
It will also require Ubiqiti's Cloud Key G2+ to act as an NVR (and it
can handle a few more cameras should the need arise).
Before I pull the trigger on this, I thought I'd throw it out to the
Borg to see if anyone has any other thoughts.
